“I have a small company and this allowed me to…”
I have a small company and this allowed me to keep track of not only my expenses, but also send invoices and get paid online (the Paypal feature was a plus)! I also liked importing my bank statements. Finally, I have a sense of what my cash flow really is! I would highly recommend this product for other small businesses.
